Take that back about the wheels now I've got some glasses on! Thought they were period but look like late eighties design?

Cast wheels look nice. Seat not so.

Thank you. I will have to invest in one. Hope it comes with a decent instruction book!

I'm afraid I don't have a multimeter and if I did wouldn't really know how to use it! Looks like I might have to learn though. Bloody annoying because it was working ok before it went into the Vacbag.

Headlamp works perfectly when connected to the battery. Had a quick look at the switch. Seems intact so don't know. 😡

Cheers. I'll try it on the battery anyway later to double check.
Just reinsured it and taken it off the sorn so I'll probably take it out in the next couple of days. Would prefer it to be with a working headlamp though. Not the best time to end up in hospital when someone dosent see you.

Motobatt AGM on mine. 3 years no problems yet. Very little use in that time though. Does hold a charge for an incredibly long time when stored off the bike.

Tried the headlamp connected to a Ctek with crocodile clips. Nothing. Does it need to be connected to a battery or should a charger do the same job?

Well it definitely is a Honda! I think that wire may be something to do with the new indicator stalks I fitted a few years ago. Shame I had to reduce the size of the photo to allow it to load. I'll try and get another one up

Front brake sorted. Turned out to be a combination of crud around the pad and piston and a badly set up adjuster. Piston had no corrosion just a layer of dried up muck around it. Had a look inside the headlamp bowl. There seems to be a black and white wire that dosent go anywhere?

Cheers I'll have a look Friday. The bike is a Canadian import so dosent have a on/off switch for the lights.

Neither filament is working. I've got plenty of time to sort the things out but I could do with some guidance.
